Satoko Fujii: Dog Days Of Summer
by John Sharpe
With its aggressively pushy opener, full of attitude, the reunion of Japanese pianist Satoko Fujii's Quartet, last heard on Bacchus (MZCO, 2007), seems to be asking: “well, did you miss us?" Certainly there is no missing the foursome on Dog Days Of Summer, completed by regular partner Natsuki Tamura on trumpet, along with the snarling electric ...
Satoko Fujii: Renaissance Figure Extraordinaire
by Doug Collette
Satoko Fujii is that rare artist whose technical and intuitive talents are as readily apparent in collaboration with others as when she is working on her own. To that end, she seems bent on deeply exploring the seemingly innumerable combinations of musicians and instruments, in as wide a variety of settings available to her on both ...

Lawrence Peryer's Jazz & Beyond for 2024
by Lawrence Peryer
I very much enjoy the moment we are in for improvisatory and creative music. So many traditions are coming into contact and interacting with each other: jazz cats, indigenous practitioners, electronic music experimenters, modern composers and many others. The breakdown and blurring of genre divides and dogma is something I revel in. “Collision Music," to quote ...

These may not have been the only titles that provided respite from the inane insanity (insane inanity?) around us this year, but each in its own way commanded deep and abiding attention in and of itself. Mary Halvorson Cloudward Nonesuch Records Satoko Fujii Jet Black ...

Natsuki Tamura / Satoko Fujii: Aloft
by John Sharpe
By the time of its ninth release a band might be struggling to produce something new. Not so the Japanese wife-and-husband duo of pianist Satoko Fujii and trumpeter Natsuki Tamura. They reap the benefits of a long association while sidestepping potential downsides to keep things fresh and unpredictable. While previous albums have often featured the compositions ...
Natuski Tamura, Jim Black: NatJim
by Alberto Bazzurro
Un bel dialogo franco e convincente illumina le varie città evocate nei diversi momenti della giornata e stati d'animo dai titoli degli otto brani che coprono la parte preponderante del CD, tutti a firma di Natsuki Tamura, dove peraltro il propellente-Black è senz'altro decisivo per tracciare il perimetro espressivo, il climax, dell'album attraverso una prova di ...
Satoko Fujii Quartet: Dog Days Of Summer
by Dan McClenaghan
Satoko Fujii Quartet's Dog Days Of Summer has been a long time coming. It is the re-emergence of one of her most exciting bands, the Satoko Fujii Quartet. They had a great run from 2002's Vulcan (Libra Records) until 2008's Baccus (Muzak Records). Then the group went into a dormancy. In the meantime, Fujii has released ...
